First Helicopter

After screwing around with the little airhogs helicopter, both the 2 channel and 4 channel, Ive decided to step it up and get a new helicopter. Im looking for something under $200us, and that can fly better than the airhogs. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Re: First Helicopter

You started the same way I did. Airhogs hooked me a couple of months ago. For your budget I would go for the Eflight Blade CX2. It's less than $200 and flies better than my esky Lama 4 (which I choose only because of the $$$ difference).

It's a 4ch co-axial heli that with no simulator practice is easy to fly.

Re: First Helicopter

go to google and search "eflite blade cx2" and you'll find multiple sites that carry it. hobby zone is one I know of. Just make sure you get the CX2 and not the CX. the new one has some great upgrades that are worth the extra money.

Don't forget to buy extra blades while you're at it. I went through 3 sets in the first 2 weeks.
